Editor,
After two years of “solution thinking,” Foster City finalizes a nonlethal geese management plan at the yearly cost of $428,000. Or a total of $1.2 million for three years. The idea is to chase the geese away by hazing with lasers, drones, boats and foggers plus habitat modifications. So where do the geese go? Probably to neighboring areas. This does not solve the problem and is a waste of effort and money. Has anyone thought about the countries where roasted geese is traditionally consumed? In Europe it is Austria, Czech Republic, France and Germany and then in Asia, especially China. We roast chickens, ducks and turkeys, use meat from cows, lambs and pigs and no one objects about killing these animals. Of course vegetarians like me do not even want to think about eating meat from animals. Restaurants should be welcomed to take the geese, and other countries should get contracted to export as many geese as they want. This would be a less expensive and permanent way to solve the geese problem.
